Cleansing through Almsgiving in Luke-Acts: Purity, Cornelius, and the Translation of Acts 15:9

In this article, I argue that (1 ) Acts 15:9 should not be translated as "making no distinction between us and them, after cleansing their hearts by faith" but, rather, as "making no distinction between our faith and theirs, on account of having cleansed their hearts"; (2) cleans...

520 |a In this article, I argue that (1 ) Acts 15:9 should not be translated as "making no distinction between us and them, after cleansing their hearts by faith" but, rather, as "making no distinction between our faith and theirs, on account of having cleansed their hearts"; (2) cleansing in v.9, when understood in relation to the Cornelius cycle (10:1-11:18) and Jesus' discourse on cleansing and almsgiving (Luke 11:37-44), should be attributed to almsgiving rather than faith; and (3) more generally, Luke-Acts presents almsgiving as efficacious for cleansing. When the Lucan discussion of cleansing is situated in terms of Second Temple Jewish understandings of purity, it is clear that this notion of efficacious almsgiving finds parallels in contemporaneous Jewish literature and even later patristic writings. These findings have implications for Luke-Acts' soteriology, understanding of purity and cleansing, and presentation of gentiles.
